Some Tricks To Get You Started

The secret of street magic revealed on the following. Turn Water to Ice: To prepare for this illusion, place a sponge securely at the bottom of a cup and set several ice cubes on top of it. Allow spectators to watch as about an inch of water is poured into the cup. The sponge will soak up the liquid. The magician blows on the cup, turns it upside down, and out fall the ice cubes! It will appear that the magician turned the water into ice with just a breath of air!

Bend a Spoon: Grasp a spoon with both hands so that the scoop is pressed against the table and the handle is hidden within the hands. One will appear to bend the spoon in half as the hidden handle slides within the clasped hands until it’s at the base of the hands near the table. After the trick is finished, reveal the spoon to the audience to show them it is not bent after all!
